EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) - El Paso Police say Norma Duarte, 77, died from injuries she received in a T-bone crash in the Lower Valley on Feb. 26.

Special Traffic Investigators were called out to 9400 Alameda just after 10 a.m. after a sedan collided with a SUV.

The investigation revealed Duarte was heading east on Alameda in a Chevy Equinox and was making a left turn into the parking lot of a Walmart without yielding the right of way to a sedan traveling west on Alameda causing the T-bone collision.

The medical examiner's office advised STI on Feb. 28 that Duarte died at a local hospital.

This is the 8th traffic fatality in 2025, compared to 10 in the same time period in 2024.
